Abstract
The article focuses on the traditions of depicting exotic animals in Russian iconography, mostly on the icons known as “Praise the Lord from the Heavens”. The author traces the evolution of these complicated images from the 16th century to the present-day icons produced for different churches of Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. This study traces the evolution and explores the new ways of constructing an iconographic theme.
